Katherine Rowe is co-owner of Triangle Acupuncture Clinic and has more than 20 years of experience helping patients feel and function their best through acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She treats a wide range of concerns, including back and neck pain, sciatica, stress and anxiety, sleep issues, fatigue, headaches, nerve pain, digestive concerns, women’s health, fertility, and support during and after cancer treatment.

Katherine is nationally board-certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine by the NCCAOM and is licensed in North Carolina and California. Her approach combines the wisdom of Chinese medicine with an understanding of Western healthcare, allowing her to provide thoughtful, individualized care for patients at many different stages of life.

Before becoming an acupuncturist, Katherine worked as a research biologist at UNC Hospitals. Her interest in preventative health and working directly with people led her to study Classical Chinese Medicine at Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, California. In 2004, she co-founded Triangle Acupuncture Clinic and has since helped thousands of patients throughout the Triangle.

Katherine has extensive experience treating musculoskeletal pain, including low back pain, sciatica, upper back and neck tension, and nerve-related foot pain. She also frequently works with patients experiencing stress, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and other symptoms that can affect everyday quality of life.

She is especially passionate about supporting people affected by cancer and completed advanced acupuncture training through Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Her treatments can complement conventional care by helping patients manage symptoms such as nausea, pain, fatigue, insomnia, and stress during and after treatment.

Katherine is also Director of Triangle Acupuncture Clinic’s Fertility Wellness Program and has advanced training in fertility, pregnancy, menstrual health, and reproductive medicine. She has been a fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) since 2008 and has studied with internationally recognized experts including Dr. Randine Lewis, Jane Lyttleton, and Sharon Weizenbaum.

Her additional training includes an Advanced Clinical Internship at Zhe-Jiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.

Outside of the treatment room, Katherine serves as the lead herbalist for TAC Tea, creating Triangle Acupuncture Clinic’s handcrafted herbal tea formulas. She lives in Durham with her husband and two children and proudly cheers for the Tar Heels.
